 Serbian
Orthodox Diocese of Raska and Prizren has expressed today its strongest
opposition to the latest regulation of UNMIK according to which the so
called socially owned property in Kosovo and Metohija may be rented to
kosovo.netpanies for the period of 99 years or even sold. This regulation,
according to the Church legal advisors, is opening a process in which the
former confiscated Church land, which became so called socially owned
property during the Communist rule, may be found in Albanian private
ownership soon.
After the Second World War and the establishment of the Communist rule in
Yugoslavia large tracts of arrable land and forests were confiscated from
the Serbian Orthodox Church, primarily in Kosovo and Meothija. Ever
since the Church failed to restitute its property because the Church was
viewed as one of the strongest opponents of the Communist rule. After the
confiscation in 1946, a part of the Church land was simply distributed to
Albanian farmers, many of whom had immigrated to Kosovo from Albania
during the Nazi rule. The other part was kept as the state owned property
or assigned to socially owned companies. Kosovo Albanians who benefited
the most from this confiscation now understadably want to avoid
restitution of the Chruch land by all means and press UNMIK to pursue a
hasty privatization which will finally bring the former Church property
into their private hands before a law on restitution is drafted.
Serbian
Ministry of Justice is already preparing a law on denationalization
according to which the illegaly confiscated property will be returned to
its previous owners, including religious communities. Similar laws are
under way in other ex-Yugoslav and former Communist East European
countries. The Church rightfully expects that UNMIK will follow this path
and issue regulations which will protect the former property of religious
communities from privatization and allow first its restitution to the
Orthodox Church and other religious communities. Serbian Orthodox Church
was one of the largest land-owners before the Second World War, especially
large monasteries like Decani and Pec Patriarchate. These Church owned
lands were even spared during the Ottoman rule although they constituted
only a pale shaddow of the huge Church estates from the Middle Ages which
used to cover a larger part of the today's western part of the Province
known as Metohia (Greek: metohia, pl. of metochion, monastery property)
However, the
latest UNMIK's regulation on privatization threatens to allow Kosovo
Albanian companies and private owners "legaly" privatize the former Church
property and thus make the restitution impossible. For the Church which
has lost more than 100 holy sites after the beginning of the UN Mission in
Kosovo and additional blow and discouragement. Serbian Orthodox Diocese
has therefore already asked from the Coordination Center and UNMIK to take
into consideration its rightfull claims, but so far no assurances have
been given that the former Church property will be spared from
privatization and restituted.
This serious
issue is expected to be discussed at the annual Synod of Serbian Orthodox
Bishops iwhich has begun in Belgrade today. The Bishops are expected to
issue a strong request to Belgrade Government, UN Security Council, UNMIK
and the leading Western Governments not to allow legalizaton of communist
time crimes and injustices, primarily on the territory of Kosovo and
Metohija and create conditions for the restitution of the unfightfully
confiscated Church property.

Serbs from Pec visit Pec
Cemetery for the first time in four years
TOP
Danas
daily, Belgrade
May 11, 2003
by J.Tasic
PHOTO: They lied to us
when they said only a few tombstones were destroyed: Pec Cemetery, May
2003
 The
first Monday after Easter, which is called Pobusani and dedicated to the
deceased, was the reason that a group of 120 expelled Serbs from Pec, now
living scattered throughout central Serbia, for the first time in the four
years since the arrival of the international administration in Kosovo and
Metohija, came in organized fashion on this holiday to visited the Pec
Orthodox Cemetery. Despite the three day-long efforts of the "advance
guard", a group of 15 residents of Pec and Gorazdevac who cleaned and
tidied the cemetery as much as possible, which had in the meanwhile been
transformed in the city garbage dump, they found a disheartening scenario.
More than half of the tombstones were broken and destroyed; the marble
plates had been removed from most; some graves had been opened and dug up;
and the clean up team discovered three unidentified bodies, subsequently
claimed by the UNMIK police.
"This is scandalous. They lied to us when they said only a few tombstones
were destroyed. More than half of the cemetery is leveled with the
ground," commented Stevan Mihailovic, who came for the first time in four
years with his father and sister to visit the grave of his mother.
Milorad Vladic, a native of Pec currently living in the collective center
in Jagodina, and a member of the group working on cleaning up the
cemetery, explains that even the entrance to the cemetery was
unrecognizable due to the garbage that had been dumped there.
"I worked on the clean up for three days. We would finish cleaning for the
day and the very next morning we would find new tombstones had been
destroyed," claims Vladic.
Most of the Pec natives believes that the local city department of public
works is responsible for the condition of the cemetery, although neither
UNMIK nor the Belgrade authorities have missed out on a share of the
blame. "They have been here for four years and they have done nothing. We
are grateful to the Coordinating Center for making it possible for us to
come to Pec but they need to act more concretely and swiftly instead of
wasting their time arguing at meetings," claims Mihailovic, who now lives
in Smederevo.
The group working on cleaning up the cemetery was received the day before
the arrival of the convoy from central Serbia by the mayor of Pec. He
received some praise for his goodwill "in allowing and enabling the clean
up and visit to the cemetery, although Pec natives are disappointed by
silence on the subject of Serb returns".
"We spoke but it all seemed pointless. I asked the mayor when he intends
to begin returns, at least to Brestovik, Siga and Ljevosa, villages that
the international community has been pushing a little more lately. There
was no concrete answer," says Vladic.
According to Vladic, one of the main problems for expelled Serbs from
Kosovo and Metohija is that they have no status. "We are not refugees and
we have no rights. We are wanderers. We were not received in central
Serbia as we should have been nor are we are allowed to return here to our
destroyed homes. It's useless to try to remain calm. The provocations are
great. It's hard to retain one's sanity if one just looks around this
cemetery."
The majority of Orthodox cemeteries throughout Kosovo and Metohija,
especially in locations where no Serbs remain, have been completely
destroyed. Some, such as the one in Zahac, have even been leveled with a
bulldozer. "In the villages of Babic, Glavicica, Svrke, Naklo, Brestovik,
Ljevosa, Siga and Decani, not one tombstone remains in the Orthodox
cemeteries. In many, such as Klina municipalities, the chapels have also
been torn down and set on fire. Everything has also been completely
destroyed in Petric, Drsnik and other villages," says a member of the
Kosovo police.
The horrible condition of the Naklo Cemetery was also confirmed by Slavica
Popovic, who was escorted to her son's and her husband's grave by UNMIK
police. "The cemetery is uncleared. It is completely overgrown with weeds.
The tombstones are destroyed. Even the wire fence around the cemetery has
been removed," says Slavica Popovic, who has three other children and now
lives in the collective center in Rakovica. She says she would return to
Naklo but only if the other Serbs return as well, because her village is
ethnically mixed.
The almost two hour-long visit to the Pec Cemetery was escorted by a
strong presence of Italian KFOR troops and UNMIK police. The cleaning up
of the graves, the serving of the requiem mass and the leaving of colored
Easter eggs as tradition dictates was carefully followed from the other
side of the low cemetery fence by the workers from the auto mechanic's
shop and other stores on the other side of the street, from which newly
composed Kosovo Albanian "patriotic" songs thundered at maximum volume.
The visit to the Orthodox cemetery in Pec, according to Radmila Sugovic,
is a continuation of the campaign begun in early March when a petition
bearing 1,041 signatures of Serbs expelled from Pec was forwarded to
UNMIK, KFOR and the Italian Embassy in Serbia-Montenegro. Their request
for the protection of Pec Cemetery and the possibility of regular visits
was also supported by the Diocese of Raska and Prizren. The Easter Monday
visit was organized with the assistance of the Coordinating Center of
Serbia and Serbia-Montenegro for Kosovo and Metohija. Although interest in
going to Pec was so great that five buses could have been easily filled in
Belgrade, the list had to be limited to 120 people.
According to UNMIK's decree jurisdiction and responsibility for the
protection of monuments, including Serbian churches and monasteries, falls
on UNMIK police.
The worrisome condition of the Orthodox cemetery in Pec has also been
mentioned in a report by a two-member delegation of the Serbian Orthodox
Church, which visited churches and cemeteries throughout the Province at
the beginning of this year. Monk David Perovic, a professor at the
Theological Faculty in Belgrade and envoy of Patriarch Pavle, who visited
Pec and surroundings reported that "the destruction of graves is
continuing according to an already established routine, also including the
resale of valuable marble plates from Serbian graves to the Albanian
Muslim population." Natives of Pec who visited Pec Cemetery on Easter
Monday saw for themselves the horror of what can only be partially
discerned from the reports and photographs.

"They have finally realised that Sefket Musliu has committed a series of
different crimes and now they would like to try him in Kosovo.
"We cannot work and talk any longer if Sefket Musliu is not extradited to
the Serbian justice system.
"The failure to extradite him means jeopardising the peace and the

"This man beat mayors and threatened them, he beat multiethnic police, so
the failure to extradite him amounts to encouraging such behaviour," said
Covic.

Serbian National Council has expressed a serious concern because of
UNMIK's stubborn refusal to hand over Shefket Musliu, leader of the ethnic
Albanian extremists in South Serbia.
Serbian
Ministry of justice and police have credible proofs that Musliu is
responsible for serious crimes comitted on the territory of Southern
Serbia and have issued a request for his extradiction from Kosovo where he
attempted to avoid justice.
Steiner's
rigid position that UNMIK will not hand over Musliu to the Serbian
authorities is a serious precedent which will encourage the terrorism in
the Balkans and give a hope to ethnic Albanian extremists that Kosovo is
their safe haven from law and justice. Beside Musliu in Kosovo many former
members of the Kosovo Liberation Army enjoy immunity from both local and
international courts only because UNMIK and KFOR want to avoid worsening
of their position among radicalized Kosovo Albanian population. Pursuing
of such policy based on wrong compromises and tolerating of violence will
in the long run only make Kosovo a basis for further terrorist operations
in the region.

 PRISTINA
-- Tuesday – Deputy Prime Minister Nebojsa Covic today refused to attend a
meeting of the Kosovo liaison body after three hours of discussions with
the province's UN governor, Michael Steiner.
Covic, who heads Belgrade's Kosovo Coordination Centre, said dialogue
between Belgrade and Pristina could not proceed until former south Serbian
guerrilla leader Sefket Musliu was extradited to face charges in Serbia.
"Until this happens we will be unable to work on other issues," said
Covic, adding that it was now up to Steiner and the UN mission to consider
Musliu's extradition.
After Covic's departure from the UNMIK headquarters in Pristina, Steiner
told media that the deputy Serbian prime minister had asked for a decision
to be made today on extraditing Musliu and that this had been his
condition for attending the liaison meeting.
Covic also told media that Steiner had admitted that the agreement on
northern Kosovska Mitrovica was not being implemented.
It was not possible, he said, for any person to live by saying one thing
and doing another, even if the person's name is Steiner.
The deputy prime minister also objected to Steiner's latest decree on
changes in ownership of public land in Kosovo.
"We are not expecting robbery; we expect the privatisation process to be
fair so that all the people living in Kosovo may benefit from it," he
said.
The only positive development at today's meeting in Pristina was an
agreement on continued police cooperation.
Sources close to the UN mission said that a meeting of police officials
from Kosovo and Serbia could be held as early as next week.

ANNOUNCED URGENT DIPLOMATIC INITIATIVE TO PREVENT IMPLEMENTATION OF
STEINER'S REGULATION ON PRIVATIZATION

UNMIK head Michael Steiner’s Regulation on the Beneficiary Rights on the
Land, which anticipates that after privatization in Kosovo, socially owned
enterprises shall not, as before, be beneficiaries of the land, but
lease-holders for the period of 99 years, caused turbulent reactions of
the official Belgrade. Representatives of the State Coordination Center
for Kosmet, particularly emphasize the stance that the owner, that is the
titular of the land is the state, and enterprises are beneficiaries only.
It is inconceivable to go into privatization without the resolved
nationalization, considers the head of the Judiciary Department of the
State Coordination Centrer for Kosmet, Vladimir Bozovic. Vice Prime
Minister of Serbia Nebojsa Covic, has announced that he will discuss the
disputable Regulation with the UNMIK head, as well as with other
international representatives.
The Minister for Human and minority Rights of Serbia and Montenegro, Rasim
Ljajic, has announced Belgrade’s strong diplomatic initiative on the
occasion of UNMIK head Michael Steiner’s Regulation that social property
in Kosovo may be rented for the period of 99 years, or be sold. This
initiative is inevitable because of other disputable questions in the
relations between Steiner and Belgrade, too, said Ljajic. He has also
announced that the law on denationalization would be passed most probably
until autumn, but that it could not be valid for Kosovo and that that
question had to be resolved through negotiations with the international
community representatives.
BELGRADE CRITICIZES THE REGULATION is the title under which the DANAS
daily reports that Michael Steiner yesterday announced a Regulation "on
transformation of beneficiary rights of the social real estate", that is,
a document on privatization of Kosovo economy. On this occasion, president
of the Coordination Center for Kosovo-Metohija Nebojsa Covic reacted
sharply, calling upon the international community to help and stop such
unilateral moves which may destabilize the situation in the Province.
Covic said that the Regulation represented extortion of social capital and
added that it was another provocation towards Belgrade, the
representatives of which had not been consulted in its making. "The
Regulation is out of norms and standards of the international community
where property is sacred and an impermissible move made without consent of
the land owner and this is Belgrade", emphasized Covic. He added that all
knew how much Serbia had been investing in Kosovo-Metohija and how big was
its property in the Province, and he, therefore, appealed to workers to
protect their property. Covic assessed that "as closer is the end of
Steiner’s mandate, he makes more and more problematic moves, according to
the system - after me, the deluge", quotes the daily.
In his recent statements, Steiner has gone so far as to even deny that
Kosovo is a province of Serbia, obviously showing great ignorance in
history. Namely, the BORBA daily quotes his statement to the MOST TV from
Zvecan, that according to the UN Security Council Resolution 1244, Kosovo
is not a province of Serbia, as well as that this is the opinion of the
entire international community. He, nevertheless, adds that the question
of final status is open and that neither Belgrade nor Pristina should
prejudge it.
The Serbian Minister for Privatization, Aleksandar Vlahovic, has also
reacted to the latest Steiner’s moves towards the beginning of
privatization in Kosovo-Metohija, stating that is surprised by the UNMIK
head’s decision, write the VECERNJE NOVOSTI daily. This Regulation, made
without consultations with the Serbian Government, creates additional
confusion regarding the model of privatization that would be applied to
Kosovo enterprises. The Government of Serbia shall, therefore, request
UNMIK and international financial institutions, that privatization in
Kosovo-Metohija respects elementary economic standards and logics. In no
any country in transition such an approach has been applied, to sell an
enterprise without respecting the enterprise’s creditors - the state of
Serbia in this case, quoted Vlahovic.
